Metal Detector Talk Options

[Bryan K]

Alright So I have not seen too many topics on metal detectors on this forum. Without a doubt a very good tool for any serious prospectors arsenal. With so many on the market, I would like to get a group discussion going on experience, thoughts, and whats working for you. In my past I have used the Garett Treasure Ace 250. Personally I did not care for the Treasure Ace models. Right now I'm looking at a Fisher Gold Bug Pro or the gold bug pro II. I have been watching videos on people pulling out pin head size nuggets, and even detecting hot spots of gold flakes. This device has a higher frequency. It is also capable of locating coins. Seems to be a nice hybrid model. Its usually one or the other with these detectors. Either great at locating coins and not smaller sized nuggets or great at detecting nuggets and not coins. I'm personally looking for a detector that can do it all with the best bang for my buck. I Think this would be a good topic to open a discussion.

I travel all around the state for 6 or 7 months of the summer running asphalt crews and projects so I'm taking the f2 on the road this year. There are always old school yards or parks around in these old towns we stay in. Prime detecting places I'd think.
We get rained out at times and held up for various reasons and I need more to do than drink beer and sit at the hotel and play frisbee and horseshoes with the crew. It's all fun till someone loses an eye.
